Netherlands Institute For Sound And Vision
The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (Dutch: Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid) is an archive center and museum located in Hilversum. It collects, preserves, and provides access to most of the Dutch audiovisual collection. In total, the institute has more than 750,000 hours of material dating back to 1898, making it one of the largest audiovisual archives in Europe. It was founded in 1997 as the Netherlands Audiovisual Archive (Dutch: Nederlands Audiovisueel Archief), and adopted its current name in 2002. Its history goes back to 1919, with the foundation of the Nederlandsch Centraal Filmarchief, being one of its precursors.

Sound and Vision is the business archive of the national broadcasting corporations, a cultural heritage institute (providing access to students and the general public) and also a museum for its visitors. The digital television production workflow and massive digitization efforts break grounds for new services.

Sound and Vision is an experienced partner in European-funded research projects. These include or have included: P2P-Fusion, MultiMatch, PrestoSpace, VIDI-Video, LiWA Living Web Archives (Research Project), Communia, Video Active (European Research Project) and the streaming mobile app Radio Garden, which gives listeners access to radio stations worldwide.

In 2019, the Museum voor Communicatie, established in The Hague in 1929, merged with Sound and Vision. The museum has been renamed as Beeld en Geluid Den Haag.

On 1 January 2022, Muziekweb was merged into Sound and Vision. Muziekweb was previously affiliated with the Central Library of Rotterdam. It has been described as "Europe's largest music collection".
